Slightly out of focus, but figured I'd share anyways. Still learning to use my Taurus Tracker III, and I suppose the parfocal eyepiece was a little off.
This was taken last month on a f/10 LX90 8" SCT. 60 minute manually guided exposure. Location was Walker's Pass, on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas just west of Ridgecrest, CA.

Gotta love the ruby reds of the Ektachromes!
Enjoy,
